Can I Plant A Line Of Trees Close To My Fence

Question

I’ve attached a screen shot of my septic drain plans in my yard. I’m concerned about growing trees or plants in my yard due to these drains. Thanks for helping.

Answer 1

I would not plant near a fence line because the roots may interfere with the fence. Likewise, you should avoid any underground cables, pipes, or drain lines.

Shallow rooted plants like flowers and grasses are a better choice. Here is more:
